About School of Robots

Real hardware, posted to your door, and a teacher who knows what they are doing.

What we do

An academy that ships the laboratory. Hardware kits posted at each stage, progressing from motors and sensors through microcontrollers, motor control, sensing and closed-loop control to autonomous behaviour, with live small-group instruction from engineers rather than recorded video. Projects are genuinely engineering rather than assembly: design, build, measure, fail, diagnose, improve. Competition preparation for the major robotics competitions, including team formation for students with no local team, which is the specific thing that unlocks opportunity for isolated learners.

Who we built it for

• Teenagers aged 12 to 17

  Young people with a genuine interest in engineering who want to build with real hardware, not watch videos.

• Parents and homeschool families

  Families looking for structured technical instruction that covers mechanical and electrical work, with the hardware included.

• Competition teams

  Teams preparing for the major robotics competitions, and students who have no local team to join.

The problem

Serious robotics education requires hardware, and online courses either teach simulation, which does not translate, or assume a school laboratory the learner does not have.

Competition teams exist only in well-funded schools.

A motivated teenager without a local programme has no path from interest to competence, and general online coding courses do not touch mechanical or electrical work.
